“Jumaane has been such an integral and inspiring part of my shows these last years so I'm not surprised that his new album is terrific. Aside from his amazing talent as a horn player, his vocal gifts really shine on the new record.”

Michael Bublé

Jumaane Smith's critically-acclaimed debut album, "I Only Have Eyes For You," features special guests Michael Buble, Jackie Evancho, and Naturally 7. His sophomore album, "When You're Smiling," was released to much praise in January 2020.

As a composer, Smith has scored music for films such as "Handsome Harry" (starring Steve Buscemi and Jamey Sheridan) and the documentary "Being in the World," as well as for his own recordings and the interactive sheet music company Tomplay.

Smith has worked with musical legends such as Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, Aretha Franklin, Christian McBride, Barbra Streisand, and many more. As a full scholarship recipient at the Juilliard School of Music's Jazz Studies program (2001-2005), Wynton Marsalis was Smith's primary trumpet teacher.
